Camp NaNoWriMo | 3 Ways to Get Over the Halfway Hump

On July 18, 2019July 17, 2019 By AlomaIn WritingLeave a comment

We've only just past the halfway point of the month, but I've already hit a few points where I've felt a little lull! Here in London we've been having a gorgeous heatwave, and as a result I've been spending a lot of time out and away from my desk, fuelling my renewed fruit pastille lolly …

Camp NaNoWriMo | Week One

On July 8, 2019July 16, 2019 By AlomaIn WritingLeave a comment

Target: 4,550 words Achieved: 4,117 words I started out the week with the knowledge that my weekend ahead was going to be jam-packed, so my plan was to try and get ahead quickly so that I wasn't playing catch up the week after. I wanted to hit the ground running and after smoothing over my …

On March 22, 2019March 1, 2019 By AlomaIn Writing1 Comment

Camp NaNoWriMo is starting again this April, which means we have another reason to pick up our pens and get focused on a new project, or finishing a current work in progress! I've been thinking of ways I can help myself reach my Camp NaNoWriMo goal this coming month and I thought I'd share my …

NaNoWriMo Checkin #4

On December 5, 2018December 4, 2018 By AlomaIn Writing3 Comments

Word count: 52,016 Last week: 43,014 Overall progress: +9002 Hi all, and happy December!  This is a bit of a belated post considering NaNoWriMo officially finished 5 days ago. Before I continue, I should make it clear that despite my current word count, I didn't win NaNoWriMo! I was away in Copenhagen for 4 days at …

Word count: 43,014 Hi all, and happy Friday! Last week: 38,459 Overall progress: +4,555 It's been a bit of a busy week for me, so unfortunately I've not had much time for writing: in fact, the place where I've been most productive with it has been on the bus to and from work! It's not where …

NaNoWriMo Checkin #2

On November 16, 2018December 5, 2018 By AlomaIn WritingLeave a comment

Word count: 38,459 Hi all, and happy Friday! Similarly to last week, over the past several days I've carried out a mass exodus of words, but fortunately I've written a fair amount to keep me hovering just under the 40k mark! Words deleted: -9,540 Words added: +8,831 Overall progress: -709 Being in a word deficit is …

We're just over one week into NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for those who might not be familiar with it), and while my blog has been a little quiet as of late, I've been hiding myself away spending some one-on-one time with my current writing project.

Where has the time gone?! Camp NaNoWriMo is almost upon us, and that means it's time to start setting our writing goals for the upcoming month! Last Camp, I aimed for 55 hours and although I didn't reach that goal, I managed to do 45 hours, which I was really pleased about as it was …
